Shades...
So I do my shades on
So I do my shades on
So I do my shades on
So I do my shades on
The repetitive lyrics of "Shades" by Alvaro seem quite simple on the surface, but can be interpreted in a number of ways. The phrase "shades on" can be seen as a symbol for wearing a mask, or putting on a facade in order to appear cool or confident. The repetition of the phrase could represent the weight of social pressure to maintain a certain image, both in terms of physical appearance and behavior. This pressure can be overwhelming, leading to a constant need to put on a "face" in order to fit in with one's peers or society as a whole.
Another interpretation of the song could be that "shades on" represents a state of mind. The act of putting on sunglasses can instantly change one's perspective and create a barrier between oneself and the outside world. In this sense, the repetition of "shades on" could be seen as a mantra for self-protection and self-preservation.
Regardless of the interpretation, "Shades" is a catchy song with a danceable beat that has resonated with audiences around the world.
